VISION ~ Wisdom and harvest years bring destiny into focus. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Oct. 24, 1975 That was where my state of mind was about 1974. "Vision" was my first proverb. I first wrote "Wisdom and time will bring destiny into focus". My mother saw it and knew what was wrong with it. Two words were taken out and two new words were added. I haven't had any trouble writing proverbs since. DETERMINATION - Do not accept gifts, which entail prolonged obligations. Either do without, or develop an alternative. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Jan. 7, 1977 PERSPECTIVE ~ Wisdom does not mature with age, nor spring from knowledge; it yields to insight and experience. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Oct. 17, 1996 INSIGHT ~ Wisdom is the middle path; it severs as our bridge between ignorance and knowledge. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Nov. 22, 2004 EVIDENT - Life without purpose leads to a path of uncertainty. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Oct. 3rd 2005 NEAR SIGHTED - Wisdom carries both a virtue and a sin. The virtue is that the wise can help humanity with problems and the sin is they think most people are stupid. - by Claude Lockhart Clark © July 9, 2009 (with help from Lao Tsu) VALUES OF DAY ~ During dawn there is hope, noon we pray, dusk brings lust and between darkness there's slumber. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Jan. 2, 2010 (original version - authorship unknown) UNRESOLVED - Excuses go unsolved fore they are burden with obstacles. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb. 25, 2010 ACKNOWLEDGE - Knowledge seeks to reveal the unknown and ignorance preserves it. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb 27, 2010 INDEPENDENCE - Teaching your self a skill could provide independence, verses learning a skill from someone else leaden with limitations. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb. 23, 2010 OPTIONS ~ Success breeds fulfillment, opportunity is an open window, with wisdom we gain insight, truth builds integrity and destiny brings hope. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb. 2, 2010 VICTIM ~ A planned life is a closed life. Its human occupant remains captive to its destiny. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb. 30, 2005 INTEGRITY ~ Truth and honesty never have to remember what they say. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Dec. 27, 2007 EXSPENSIVE ~ If you are in debt you live to pay the price, but if you are debt free you have other options. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb. 23, 2010 FATE - Destiny is a path of choices and opportunities. Our circumstances are determined by how we use them. Claude Lockhart Clark © Oct 7, 2006 YOUTH - We are young when we are open to ideas and we become old when our minds are closed. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb. 23, 2010 QUEST ~ Knowledge begins with inquiry and ignorance ends with its skepticism. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb 25, 2010 CHOICE ~ Organization sets boundaries; chaos comes with a price. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Feb. 23, 2010 ORDER ~ Moderate censorship makes choices simpler and life easier to manage. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 2, 2010 SOURCE ~ Wisdom is only the start of a long journey to truth and enlightenment. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 6, 2010 RECIPE ~ It takes a pocket full of knowledge, plus a hand full of experience and one pound of insight to yield an ounce of wisdom. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 6, 2010. OWNERSHIP ~ Creating your own children's toys may brighten their future; using someone else's toys could blind them. Mar. 17, 2010 by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 2, 2010 PATH - A straight path is well worn; a newly created one is traveled by few. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 17, 2010 PRIORITY - Knowledge is obtainable and ignorance is available. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 20, 2010 TRUTH - Pinciples governing ignorance and knowledge are not fixed; they are interchangeable. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 21, 2010 LIABILITY - We put things out of a child's reach and provide censorship for adults; both for the same reasons. by Claude Lockhart Clark © Mar. 21, 2010 I have been putting "insight" in to action since age 7, but there was no one to teach me what I needed to learn. I spent much time trying to follow others only to find that the way they were teaching me to learn would never work. I began work at age 8 and 9. For two summers I had my own business selling fruits and vegetables. I have been working ever since. I am a writer, artists, educator and I am in business. That is about as simple as a discription of my life gets. From this point on things begin to get complicated. As a writer on paper I type standard english and for web brousers used in cyber space I type HTML. I engage in three catagories of art: # 1 Art Antropology (which proves that there is no such word as "CAN'T"), # 2 Fine Arts (which demonstrates that I know how to play the game and go with the flow, if I want to) and # 3 Craft (which domonstrates that I am more interested in the process rather than the finished product). My work has appeared in exhibits given by all three catagories of art. I exhibit work in several different types of media in the areas of painting, graphics and sculpture, but I won't bother to list them here. My obsession is art and unfortunately I don't know of anything else to do. My father was an artist and my mother a minister and philosopher. I entered the art profession when I was 14, participated in adult art exhibits at museums beginning age 16 and never did have much in common with my own age group. I worked and they played. They developed social skills and I was more into the technical and spiritual.
